Pros

Large global company but not too overwhelming. Preference for youth over experience. Nice campus with all the amenities.

Cons

The Company has lost its way, abandoning the things that made it a leader in the industry. We once had the best engineered bearings and applications, now the focus is on cheap. Management has become too obsessed with share price that is outsourcing everything overseas while keeping the leadership here in USA to reap the benefits. There is also a widespread downsizing of the US operations that the Company is keeping under wraps to the public.
